Palladium Hotel Group is investing $6 million to renovate and relaunch the former Grand Palladium White Sand Resort & Spa on Mexico’s Riviera Maya as Grand Palladium Select White Sand, debuting Jan. 1. This transformation marks the latest expansion of the exclusive Grand Palladium Select Collection.
Launched in January of this year, the Grand Palladium Select Collection includes Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres (Cancún, Mexico), followed by Grand Palladium Select Palace Ibiza (Ibiza, Spain) and Grand Palladium Select Bávaro (Punta Cana, Dominican Republic), which will open in December.
The Grand Palladium White Sand hotel will be adjacent to the Grand Palladium Kantenah Resort & Spa, Grand Palladium Colonial Resort & Spa, and TRS Yucatán Hotel.
The renovation project will begin on June 1. Construction will be carried out progressively and the property will remain open throughout. The property will have a total of 425 rooms starting with the Junior Suite as the base category. The suites have an in-room minibar restocked daily, a premium bar and unlimited access to restaurants, bars, and entertainment programs at all of the Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts within the complex. Complimentary room service is available 12 hours a day.
Food and Beverage
Dining options at the resort are Portofino (Italian cuisine), Bamboo (Asian cuisine), Bahía e Brasa (Brazilian cuisine), Poseidón Beach Restaurant and restaurants with show cooking stations such as La Dalia and La Laguna.
